Confession: James Holmes Tells Inmate He Was Programmed To Kill

Colorado inmate Steven Unruh is having a hard time convincing anyone that he spent hours talking to Aurora theater shootings suspect James Holmes shortly after his arrest last July. Jail officials say there’s no way that Unruh could have had that kind of access. Yet certain elements of the story — which includes a description that resembles the headbanging routine that sent Holmes to the hospital last week — have been attracting attention from law enforcement and even families of the shooting victims.

“They’re going to try to discredit my story,” Unruh told Westword in a recent interview at the jail. “But I was able to have a four-hour talk with him. I talked him out of suicide.”

Unruh insists the sporadic conversation continued even after Holmes was moved to another cell in the area. He says that Holmes told him “he felt like he was in a video game” during the shooting, that “he wasn’t on his meds” and “nobody would help him.” He says Holmes also mentioned NLP — presumably, neuro-linguistic programming, a much-scorned and outmoded approach to psychotherapy — and claimed to have been “programmed” to kill by an evil therapist.

“When he got out to his car, he wasn’t programmed no more,” Unruh says. “It sounded kind of crazy. He was trying to run it by me, basically.”

He's trying to figure out how a neuro-student can be fucking manipulated into doing something like that.

Ha! look at the cops... they know something is not right about the situation... the one looks like he's got ants in his pants and has something to say... And it really doesn't look like "man, i wanna shoot this kid."

I Live in ONT bud, but I have a brain and can see Quebec and Most of Ontario is full of sheep that can't be trusted to do the right thing for the country

ONT, huh? that's why you're looking so hard for work in alberta, huh? tell me : how is looking for work in those oil fields working out for you? that conservative provincial government really making ends meet for everyone, isn't it?

i wonder why they're beginning to fail in alberta, seeing as they're doing such a bang-up job creating jobs.

and besides...take it to a thread where this discussion belongs. this has nothing to do with alberta, ontario, quebec, harper or the PCs.

I'm sure you're all watching this and just as enthralled as i am, but isn't the fact that the car was parked outside the door, and you can't get in from the outside a clear and obvious sign that there was someone else???

Rachel Maddow is HOT!!! - Seriously I'd hit it.

A VOTE FOR JUSTIN TRUDEAU IN 2015, WOULD BE THE MOST COWARDLY & IRRESPONSIBLE THING A CANADIAN CITIZEN COULD DO TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE. GUN GRABBERS ARE THE COMMON ENEMY OF ALL PEOPLE.

GUN CONTROL HAS RESULTED IN THE SLAUGHTER OF 262 MILLION CITIZENS BY THEIR GOVERNMENTS OVER THE PAST 100 YEARS.

THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA & THE NDP ENDORSE GUN CONTROL, AN ESSENTIAL POLICY OF HITLER, STALIN, MAO, POL POT, EDI AMIN, QADDAFI, SADDAM, ASSAD, & EVERY OTHER TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT THIS PAST CENTURY.

CANADIANS MUST NEVER FORGET THE BETRAYAL OF BILLS C-68 & C-17. WE MUST NOT REST UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY REPEALED.

C-19 WAS A GOOD START......BUT JUST A START. GET OFF YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES AND MAKE AN IMPACT. WE HAVE 26 MONTHS.

I, THEE BOB, SWEAR ON THE ALTER OF GOD TO FIGHT ALL FORMS OF CANADIAN TYRANNY AND SAVE MY COUNTRY FROM THE EVILS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER. I WILL NEVER HAND IN MY GUNS. EVER. I AM A FREE MAN, I WILL NOT BE THE BITCH OF THE SOCIALIST ESTABLISHMENT. LEAVE ME ALONE.

but maybe he's like that choir boy in that one movie...umm, ummm, Primal Fear maybe? You guys remember that one? He's got everyone fooled and at the very end, he's like, ha ha ha, got you! And he IS the bad guy?

We will never know what really happened, but this kid doesn't look like he knows what the hell is going on.

I remember watching a documentary on Discovery about the murder of JFK's brother. The alleged assassin claimed that he was programmed to do it, and a blonde woman triggered him as she walked pass by him. Then Derren Brown wanted to see if this theory is possible and replicated it....with amazing success. Apparantly James Holmes was framed because his dad is some big shot who was about to reveal things about some financial scandal.

It's hilarious how you typed a paragraph of totally off-topic material, and used your last sentence to tell the other person to stay on topic. Yet, he only typed one sentence. Anyways..
